Digital Photography Project Monday, 15 October 2018 The Denton Central Appraisal District has contracted with Tyler Technologies, Inc. to digitally photograph the exterior of all residential and commercial properties within the jurisdiction of DCAD. The project provides many benefits, some of which include: • Photos will help provide more efficient and accurate information for use in property tax appraisals. • Complete a property inventory of all improved parcels within the DCAD jurisdiction. • Validate property addresses to identify homes and businesses for fire, police and medical emergency response. • Assist the public by providing better access to information. • Assist homeowners and businesses with “before” photos in case of losses. • Enhance emergency management recovery reports necessary for state and federal assistance. We appreciate your patience and cooperation with this important project. The photos will be taken from a white van clearly marked with the name of the project. The project will begin in October, 2018 and should be completed in 2019. If you have questions, please submit them via our helpdesk or you may call 940-349-3800.

You must deliver the evidence or argument and an affidavit form to the ARB prior to your scheduled hearing. You must attest to the affidavit and evidence before an officer authorized to administer oaths, such as a notary public. You are not required to use the Comptroller’s form. You may submit a sworn affidavit by letter or other form, but it must contain the protesting property owner’s name, description of the property under protest, and the evidence or argument.

The proposition: Authorize the adoption of a ceiling or limitation on the City ad valorem tax levy of a person who is disabled and a person who is sixty-five (65) years of age or older who makes application for and receives a homestead exemption. This means that the City of Denton taxes will freeze (or establish a tax limitation) in 2017 on their homestead property. This includes the property coded as “home site” and they must qualify for either the Over-65 Exemption or Disability Exemption. The amount that will freeze is the amount of calculated taxes for the City in tax year 2017. Frequently asked questions Here are answers to questions many homeowners have about how the proposed property tax freeze would affect their individual city property tax bill: Does this freeze all of my property taxes?

When does the freeze go into effect? It will begin with your 2017 property taxes. If you are age 65 or disabled, the dollar amount you pay in city property taxes will be the dollar amount you pay each year for as long as you live in your home, regardless of whether it increases in value or the city property tax rate goes up...
